Outside the Box...

When I think of RSV’s Los Carneros Pinot Noir, I think of bright fruit with a kiss of baking spice and vanilla from French oak. The judicious use of French oak serves the wine well by giving it a little backbone and ageability. The vanilla spice is most apparent upon release and, when creating a dish, I like to complement not only the freshness of the raspberry and sour cherry fruit but also the soft, subtle spice.

Back to Earth

Most wouldn’t consider the beloved potato very attractive, but when we cry out for comfort food the ugly, dusty potato becomes a siren. This recipe requires the same amount of work as a bowl of mashed potatoes but is infinitely more satisfying and elegant.
